How likely is a DGW for Chelsea in GW25? It would need to be confirmed pretty soon.

Possible yeah. Not likely.

I'd be terrified if it was, imagine having to consider Triple Captaining fupping Hazard!!!

manual_man · 25-01-2019 12:07am

So by when will we realistically know the re-arranged dates?

No way am I getting Hazard in no matter how good he is playing

Green&Red · 25-01-2019 12:27am

I’ll be TCing either Luiz or Huiguain if DGW25 goes ahead

I think I’d do it.

Trimm Trabb · 25-01-2019 12:09pm

If DGW 25 were to go ahead would only have Sane from perspective teams so would consider free hit. Get a decent 11 from the players below and no need to restructure for 27.

Sane, Sterling, KDB, Kun, Ederson
Alonso, Luiz, Hazard, Higuain
Digne, Siggy, Ricky
Duffy, Gross, Ryan, Murray

Makes sense if you have not wildcarded. For us early wildcarders GW32 is probably best when the Free Hit is best utilized.

Probably mentioned elsewhere but Son and South Korea lost their 1/4 final.

He's in my thoughts now again when Chelsea and City are blanking.

Could be my Richy replacement, if i downgrade Jimenez to Niasse, or Jimenez to Ings and Digne to 4.5m.

A midfield of Pogba, Salah, Son and Sterling would be great. You could even say it'd be taking the PSSS.

Especially if you got Iwobi as your 5th cheap midfielder.

Thats burnley v leicester and bournemouth v newcastle going ahead in gw 31

KevIRL · 26-01-2019 6:00pm

No Chelsea dgw25

spock. · 26-01-2019 6:00pm

No DGW25 for Chelsea.

I'm happy with that actually as a Hazard owner. Bournemouth away and Huddersfield at home before selling and nobody will bring him in now.

Great, so i have thr grand total of 1 and a half players for gw31 so far.
2, if TAA is ever fit enough to play for me

Iused2likebusts · 26-01-2019 8:57pm

Maximum of 8 PL teams in the last 16 of the cup. A couple of all PL ties and there wont be very many blanks and doubles.

The way things are going the blanks and doubles will be a non event.

West Ham next to drop!??

Nooooo!

Blanks and DGWs are the main advantage us obsessive eejits have over the casual eejits

FA Cup has killed the spreadsheet for 18/19.

I think even if you've used wildcard and/or free hit early it's still best for serious players if the blanks and doubles are tricky and require some planning.

Other serious players with wildcard etc may be at less of an advantage over you but the masses have just got a big leg up.

Guess it depends whether you're playing for OR or more to beat certain rivals in certain leagues.

Mr.Prodston · 27-01-2019 12:20am

I have but one simple question:

Does it seem like Palace will have a DGW in GW37 or not?

Asking for me, not a friend

spock. · 27-01-2019 9:48am

With no DGW25 for Chelsea and Liverpool not having any DGWs, it's going to be tricky to find the best TC.

City assets are all at risk of rotation in a DGW so risky to use it on one of them.
If Wolves get to the FA cup quarter final, then Aubameyang likely to have a DGW32 of wol, NEW which might be the best we'll get.

Man City, Everton DGW25

CSF · 27-01-2019 2:26pm

As someone with only one player from both team I’m not jumping for joy with this.

Totally messes up my plans. The only reason I brought in Hazard on WC was for GW24 and GW25, then dump him. I have Digne, Richy and Sterling for the DGW. I'll need to ponder dumping Hazard (HUD) for City mid/Aguero (ARS, eve). At least I didnt sell Richy.

km79 · 27-01-2019 2:42pm

Ill prob stick with digne Ricky and aguero
Pep roulette will be in full affect no doubt

extra gravy · 27-01-2019 2:59pm

Keeping Ricky just because he has dgwk feels like a trap but I'm gonna do it anyway.

km79 · 27-01-2019 3:15pm

My entire squad have decent gw 25 fixtures now
BB without taking hits is tempting
I don’t have a second playing keeper though Cos Australia got knocked out
Pity

sheroman01 · 27-01-2019 3:16pm

They're 3 tough enough games for City; ARS (Feb-3rd), eve (Feb-6th) and CHE (Feb-10th). The FA cup either side of them too, meaning players already rested and more than likely after the Chelsea game too. I can see Aguero playing all 3 games, possibly Sterling and KdB too. I have Sterling and will strongly consider getting Aguero too.

SlickRic · 27-01-2019 3:18pm

I've Laporte, Digne and Sané. I've no idea what to do. Feels like I need Sterling or KDB somehow. Just brought in Mané, and it feels like I need to maybe sacrifice him for GW25.

However City's tough run means I may be jumping the gun.

FHFC · 27-01-2019 3:35pm

Zero interest in Everton players. Second game vs City is hardly worth considering, especially for defenders. Don't own any and think those who do may be trapped into keeping out of form players over a very low ceiling extra game on top of a tricky enough game vs Wolves.

Big question for me is whether any of the City players are worthy of consideration for the TC?

manual_man · 27-01-2019 4:16pm

Digne Sterling Aguero happy enough with that, do I bother getting in another City player, if so will probably be gk or def

Iused2likebusts · 27-01-2019 4:23pm

Best thing about this dgw for me is that I now dont have to worry about hazard captainers at home to huddersfield.

dsmythy · 27-01-2019 5:53pm

Between the fact Everton's extra game is City and rotation within City is fierce I'd not be too inclined to go nuts. I've Digne and Sane at the moment. Maybe might try get Laporte or Ederson too.

thunderdog · 27-01-2019 6:03pm

Will Mendy be back in time for this DGW?

alchemist33 · 27-01-2019 6:19pm

Sorry I haven't looked at the whole dgw/blank situation yet, but would free hit be an option for 25 for someone still with a WC?

Depends what kind of team you’re likely to have in the interim. There’ll be less blank weeks with the way the FA Cup has gone but I still think it’d be more use to you to have it for that week if City, United and Chelsea are all on blank weeks and probably more depending on the form players at the time.

It really depends when you plan to use your other chips. Id be thinking FH makes most sense in dgw 32 between both blank weeks.

Paully D · 27-01-2019 8:51pm

I have Digne and Richarlison so will probably keep those two and get one of Sterling, KDB or Sane in and that will be it for DGW25.

I don’t really see much potential in it given the fixtures for all concerned and the obvious City rotation nightmare. City also have Chelsea a few days later.

Mr.Prodston · 27-01-2019 9:04pm

Have Digne, Ricky and Sterling.

Likely to do Alli to Sane this week, and then Auba or Firmino to Aguero next week.

There's nothing there that doesn't seem unreasonable for 5 of the best DGW options!

Shedite27 · 27-01-2019 10:26pm

A DGW for City basically means you're guaranteed 90mns from Sterling/Sane/Aguero etc. Wouldn't be expecting anything more than that.

I have Sane, Sterling and Digne, can't see myself buying anyone else for that week. Will probably move Digne and Sane on afterwards tho (was planning on moving both in 27), very happy with the DGW

galwaylad14 · 28-01-2019 12:22am

Any ideas when Chelsea's match they're missing in GW27 will be?

Planning on using FH in W32, Wildcard in 34 and BB in 35. Ideally I'd also like to use TC on a double week but I just don't fancy this one at all cos City don't exactly have easy fixtures and very hard to be certain who'll play both games.
